What? Paul VI was just six weeks shy of his 81st birthday when he died. 81 is premature in 1978? How do you figure that?
Do you mean John Paul II? He lived as pope from 1978 to 2005. How’s is that premature?
Do you have any idea of what you’re talking about?
IIRC There was a LOT of intrigue around the death of one of the John Paul’s. Wasn’t there one . . . or maybe . . . one of them was Pope a relatively short time?
